loops - Simple PHP Templating With Looping -

hey wrote simple template system our designers use. uses str_replace under hood thing.

its works great! issue i'd looping (foreach) on data passed.

here's , example of template code

$var_c = [     [         "head" => "a",         "body" => "b",         "foot" => "c"     ],     [         "head" => "x",         "body" => "y",         "foot" => "z"     ] ];  $tpl_vars = [      "__{var_a}__",     "__{var_b}__",     "__{var_c}__" ];  $real_vars = [     $var_a,     $var_b,     $var_c ];  str_replace($tpl_vars, $real_vars, $content_body); 

note $var_c contains array , i'd loop through array. how achieve that. structure thinking

__startloop__  loop var_c c   c[head]    c[body]   c[foot] __endloop__ 

i cant seem head around how code this. :)

update: twig, smarty , likes big , cumbersome work. introduces learning curve designers adopt templating language.

see text-template class. supports conditions (if), loops (for) , filters: https://github.com/dermatthes/text-template

example template (string in variable):

hello {= name}, list of items: {for curitem in items} {=@index1}: {= curitem.name} {/for} 

php-code:

<?php $data = [     "name" => "some username",     "items" => [         ["name" => "first item"],         ["name" => "second item"]     ] ]; $tt = new texttemplate ($templatestring); echo $tt->apply ($data); 

this should job.
